255094 - lavasoft.de - Ad-aware SE 1.01 reports mozz.dll as iWon

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Tech evangelism may not be the best place for this.

The Ad-aware from Lavasoft detects the 1.7.2 version of mozz.dll as part of the
spware iWon. This was tested using Ad-aware SE 1.01 with definition file SE1R1
09.08.2004

This file is typically installed at  
C:\Program Files\Common Files\mozilla.org\GRE\1.7.2_2004080302\mozz.dll

This file appears nearly identical to other 1.7 versions of mozz.dll I had which
were not flagged, all are 39088 bytes and differ only in a few words that I
think are compiler build-time artifacts.

I should add that iWon is an IE Browser Helper Object (BHO) which 1) wouldn't
work  in mozilla, and 2) couldn't be hidden in a same-sized tiny mozz.dll while
leaving mozz.dll still functional.

It appears they have already fixed it; although I don't use it, so I can't be sure.

I confirm the 1.7.2 GRE mozz.dll is no longer flagged as iWon using the updated
definitions in "SE1R2 10.08.2004"
